Avant Garde

Genre-defying artist RMR consistently asserts himself as a sonic outlier whose vision eclipses society’s boundaries, rules, and expectations. He emerged in 2020 with the viral “RASCAL,” which reimagined “Bless The Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts as a soulful head-trip punctuated by towering high register. After leaning into his love for country on this breakout, he teamed up with Future and Lil Baby for anthem “DEALER,”, tallying 35 million streams and counting. It all paved the way for his full-length debut, DRUG DEALING IS A LOST ART, which was met with widespread critical acclaim.

Reinventing what pop music can be in 2023,  RMR progresses at lightspeed with a forthcoming full-length independent project in partnership with AWAL and kick starts this next era with “Crazy” [feat. Ryan Lewis]. Throughout the song, his grizzled delivery glides over clean guitar and 808s claps towards a chantable chorus with uncontainable effusive energy as he promises, “I love you ‘cause you’re crazy.” With this new release, RMR takes the wheel and drives us into new territory with his foot on the pedal towards another evolution.
